The story of #HiltonHeadIsland isn’t just about growth — it’s about who gets left out.
For generations, #GullahGeechee people — descendants of enslaved West Africans — have called this place home. But as development took over in the 1960s and ’70s, their communities were pushed aside.

They're fighting zoning changes that will make way for wealthy newcomers while pushing out long-standing families.

Behind #SapeloIsland, #Georgia's harmful zoning ordinance are forces aiming to deprive the native islanders of their birthright: land passed down to them by their ancestors.

Gullah Basket Weaver
Was in the open market in Charleston, SC, and was fascinated with the Gullah Geechee weaver. The aged hands and the dexterity with which she weaved the basket, so I asked if I could photograph her working.

Forget pirate shanties. The real music of the Georgia coast belonged to Gullah Geechee boatmen. "Go Row the Boat Child" by the Georgia Sea Island Singers - the rhythm that kept oars in time across dark tidal creeks.

The dock tragedy on Sapelo Island forces the Gullah Geechee community into a state of alert, as they face displacement, neglect, & rising property taxes. Yet, the descendants remain resilient, as they continue to fight to protect their culture, heritage and land.

The attacks on #BlackHistory are nothing new. Efforts to ban or rewrite the rich and unvarnished stories of our ancestors—we refuse to let that happen. Our history is the story of resilience, brilliance, and triumph in the face of insurmountable odds. We are unbroken. #gullah #geechee #gullahgeechee
